Broader Impacts

Dr. Rivera-Jiménez is the hosts of the first (and only) bilingual podcast that explores the art, science, and politics of being an engineering educator.

The main objective of this podcast is to promote bilingual intercultural collaboration within the engineering education community. By doing so, she aims to make the podcast accessible to a broader audience and encourage language learning and cultural exchange.
